The Phi Phi Islands boat tour is a full-day excursion departing from Khao Lak, combining private road transfers with shared speedboat crossings and a private longtail boat ride around the Phi Phi archipelago in Krabi province. The tour runs approximately 14 hours in total and covers some of the most photographed coastline in southern Thailand, including Maya Bay, the sheltered cove made famous by the 2000 film The Beach, filmed in Krabi. No live guide is included, but detailed instructions are provided for each stop and timing.

Once at Phi Phi, the private longtail boat takes visitors to Pileh Lagoon, a sheltered emerald inlet enclosed by limestone cliffs, and on to Monkey Bay, where macaques gather along the shoreline. Viking Cave, decorated with ancient boat paintings and a working swiftlet nest-harvesting operation, is also on the route, along with a snorkelling stop in clear coastal waters. Free time on Phi Phi Don allows independent exploration of the main village and beaches. Tickets cover the private hotel pickup and drop-off in Khao Lak, both speedboat legs, the longtail boat, a lunch box, snacks, water, and snorkelling equipment. The national park fee and a 20 Baht island fee per person are paid separately on arrival.

Good to know

Know before you go: Arrival and timing
The full day runs to approximately 14 hours from hotel pick-up to drop-off, so plan your morning accordingly and be ready at your hotel entrance at the confirmed pick-up time. A private taxi collects you and transfers you to the speedboat departure point. On arrival at Phi Phi, your longtail boat guide will give you a detailed briefing covering where to go and when, so listen carefully as there is no live guide accompanying the group.
What to bring and what to expect on the water
A small cash amount in Thai baht is needed on the day: the National Park fee and a separate island fee of 20 baht per person are not included and are paid locally.
Lunch, snacks, water, and snorkelling equipment are provided, so you do not need to carry your own.
Wear or pack swimwear, sun protection, and a light layer for the speedboat transfers, as open-water crossings can feel breezy.
Keep valuables in a dry bag or waterproof pouch, as you will be boarding and disembarking longtail boats in shallow water.
Cancellation policy: Free cancellation up to the day of the experience.
